After telephone conversation, Dr. Saha has sent us his 10 demands for the ongoing hunger strike which has started on Feb. 6.

Our “hunger strike” unto death will continue until:

1) Justice is assured for all victims of “medical negligence”.

2) All cases of “medical negligence” are decided expeditiously on a “fast-track” within a specified and limited time period.

3) A fair, impartial and transparent investigation system is established for investigation of all complaints against the errant doctors/hospitals.

4) Immediate listing of the “criminal negligence” case (Cri. Appeal Nos. 1191-1194 of 2005) for the wrongful death of Anuradha Saha, wife of Dr. Kunal Saha, which has been pending before the Supreme Court of India since 2005.

5) A complete reform of the medical councils in India that have always shielded the errant doctors without caring for the lives of the defenseless patients.

6) Strict enforcement of the rules in the MCI “Code of Ethics and Regulations”.

7) Inclusion of “non-doctor” members in the MCI and all state medical councils as it is practiced in the UK and USA as well as the Delhi Medical Council.

8) Independent investigation of fraud and corruption within the medical councils and exemplary punishment of the guilty individuals.

9) Mandatory autopsy and independent investigation of all deaths resulted within 10 days after admission of a patient in a hospital/nursing home.

10) Independent investigation of all allegations of transmission of HIV/AIDS caused from transfusion of tainted blood/blood products as a result of substandard test kits.
